I can, but that's because I'm not a penniless hippie.

Well 3 years ago I wanted to buy a 24" monitor, all were 1920x1200. I ended up settling for a 22" at 1680x1050 due to price. Yesterday I went to the store and low and behold, the highest resolution I could find from 23"-28" was 1920x1080. So I bought a 27" LG that looked decent but when I got it home and hopped on slashdot the text looked like shit. 1920x1080 is not good enough for a 27" display to be used with a PC. So I took it back and got the Asus 25.5" I am using right now. I didn't notice it the first time but it is one of the few monitors left that are over 1080p. 1920x1200 is decent enough at 25". The only other monitors over 1080p that I have seen are 30" @ 2560x1600. Unfortunately they start around $800 more than this Asus. We have definitely gone backwards.

You have a problem with Luke Skywalker?

Awesome math skills.

Actually there is evidence that it was duck tape first and when it started being used on ducts the name changed. Of course, HVAC ducts is one of the only things I wouldn't use duct tape on.

You are only treated like a criminal when you are arrested, that is your fingerprints go on file at the FBI CJIS. When you get a criminal background check as a visitor of the US or as a resident applying for a job you are not treated like a criminal because once they have compared your fingerprints to the CJIS database and found no matches they are required by law to destroy the copy of your fingerprints they took.

Yes. Toyota decided the least convoluted way of admitting to software issues was to have a government agency of a foreign country (NHTSA) call in another agency (NASA) to look for software bugs as part of that foreign country's investigation into the matter.

In this economy my company's HR dept. has started accepting unemployment statements as work history. 2 years ago a 6 month gap would leave you unhireable.

Unfortunately, if the last decade is any indicator, they will just try to top the dems. spending like it's a contest to see who can ruin the country the fastest.

In AZ max is $265 a week. Not bad since you can rent a decent apartment for 400. My cousin was on unemployment for 2 years straight with all the extensions and the only reason he isn't anymore is because he started a job 3 days ago.

No out of pocket max?

If I disagree with being required to purchase Auto insurance I can take the bus. If I disagree with being required to purchase health insurance what do I do. Move?

Wouldn't you rather be crippled financially (for the short while before you declare bankruptcy) than crippled physically because you were stuck on a waiting list for 6 months while some disease rampaged through your body.
